 :::::1992 ''Shada'' was treated as a source, it was just treated as an incomplete one. We should, under no circumstances, split that page into different variations - for the same reason that we should only have a single page for ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)]]''. (A forum, long ago, ruled that ''[[The Five Doctors Special Edition (home video)]]'' should be deleted... But no one did it.

+:: I'm of two minds. I certainly think that the 1992 ''Shada'' is one of the "special editions" with the ''most'' claim to a separate page, compared to something like the ''Five Doctors Special Edition''. It's got a whole new character commenting on the action! Isn't this a fair bit like ''Incomplete Death's Head'' not being reducible to its component preexisting stories?
+:: But either way: we really do need to work out a ''coherent'' overall policy for how to cover and cite variant cuts of video stories; I think we will be in a good position to do so once the {{tlx|cite source}} thread wraps up; and I do not think this is something we should do in this thread, whose title isn't very indicative of such a broad topic. In the meantime this thread should hash out whether the original TV ''Fix'' is valid in ''some'' form but not waste too much time trying to put together some ''ad-hoc'' decision on whether to merge the two ''Fix'' cuts or not, when we'll hopefully set clearer bases for all decisions of this type in a couple of weeks.
